Representa a Latona, madre de Apolo y Diana siendo increpada por los hombres que como castigo se van convirtiendo en ranas.
Historia:Este conjunto de mármol esculpido por los hermanos Marsy en 1670 es una las obras más famosas de Versalles y representa a Latona y sus hijos, dando nombre al estanque sobre el que se erige. Inspirado en Las metamorfosis de Ovidio, el estanque de Latona ilustra la metamorfosis de los campesinos de Licia en anfibios tras haber impedido a la diosa y a sus hijos Diana y Apolo beber en un estanque. El estanque y el parterre que lo rodean –diseñado por André Le Nôtre– fueron íntegramente restaurados en el año 2015.
La Tour Zimmer (en néerlandais : Zimmertoren) est une tour horloge située à Lierre en Belgique, nommée d'après l'horloger et astronome amateur Louis Zimmer. Cette tour était à l'origine une tour médiévale, la Corneliustoren, qui faisait partie de la première enceinte de la ville.
L'année de construction de la tour n'est pas précise, mais elle date d'avant 1425. Les autorités de la ville vendirent la tour en 1812, mais après la Première Guerre mondiale elles la rachetèrent afin de la démolir. En 1928, Louis Zimmer offrit à la ville de Lierre un mécanisme horloger (l'horloge du Jubilé appelée également l'horloge du Centenaire) muni de plusieurs cadrans indiquant le temps, le cosmos et autres phénomènes périodiques. Il fut alors décidé d'accueillir cette horloge dans la Corneliustoren qui à cette fin fut restaurée. Depuis cette tour est dénommée Tour Zimmer. L'inauguration a eu lieu le 29 juin 1930 pour les cent ans de la Belgique.
L'Horloge astronomique (nommée également l'horloge merveilleuse) qui fut commandée par le roi Albert Ier pour l'Exposition universelle de Bruxelles en 1935, est l'œuvre maîtresse de l'horloger de Lierre. Zimmer en reçu les félicitations notamment d'Albert Einstein. Cette horloge comporte entre autres le mouvement horloger mécanique le plus lent au monde : une révolution par 25 800 ans (précession des équinoxes). Elle se trouve depuis 1960 dans un pavillon situé à côté de la Tour. L'ensemble forme le musée Zimmer.
Une représentation du système solaire a été installée sur la petite place devant la tour, avec la représentation des astéroïdes (1664) Felix et (3064) Zimmer découverts en 1929 et en 1984 et baptisés d'après l'écrivain flamand Félix Timmermans et Louis Zimmer.
The picture represents the feelings and point of view of the intelligence behind the camera. This disease of our age is boredom and a good photographer must combat it. The way to do this is by invention – by surprise. When I say a good picture has surprise value I mean that it stimulates my thinking and intrigues me. The best way to achieve surprise quality is by avoiding clichés. Imitation is the greatest danger of the young photographer.

This image represents an unexpected sight. Exploring areas near Kanab, Utah, we were on our way to Old Paria, which was billed as a ghost town with a wooden structure which would make for a wonderful foreground against the striated hills behind. We read that the structure was actually built as a movie prop and was used in westerns, including The Outlaw Josey Wales. Supposedly, it was damaged and moved to higher ground nearby to protect it from floods. We found, or rather didn't find the structure, which we're pretty sure no longer exists. At least we couldn't find it, and it wasn't for lack of trying. We were rewarded, however, with this view along the way. Luckily, the area had been dusted with snow that morning, adding a delightful frosting to the hills and gullies and the remnants of the snowstorm in the sky.
L'amica Linda (che non è solo un' eccellente artista della fotografia, ma è anche ricca di conoscenza) con le sue parole sulla mia foto precedente ha suscitato vari ed interessanti commenti che mi hanno spinto a postare questa immagine del Ponte dei Draghi composta da tre sculture differenti, tutte rappresentanti il Drago sconfitto dal mitico argonauta Giasone, ma poi diventato il simbolo protettore della bella capitale della Slovenia

My friend Linda (who is not just an excellent photography artist, but also a wealth of knowledge) with her words on my previous photo has provoked various and interesting comments that have prompted me to post this image of the Dragon Bridge composed of three different sculptures, all representing the Dragon defeated by the mythical Argonaut Giasone, but then become the protective symbol of the beautiful capital of Slovenia

Momotus aequatorialis (Andean motmot / Barranquero)
The Andean Motmot, as the English name implies, is the Andean representative of the "Blue-crowned Motmot" complex. For many years, all members of this group were considered to be conspecific, but this group now is reclassified as representing five different species. The Andean Motmot occurs in humid montane forests of the Andes mountains of South America, from Colombia south to Bolivia. Andean motmot is a big bird about 50 cm from beak to tail.
These birds often sit still, and in their dense forest habitat can be difficult to see, despite their size. They eat small prey such as insects and lizards, and will also regularly take fruit.

Painted ceramic benches representing all the provinces in Spain are arranged round the square.
It was built because of the Ibero-american Exhibition of 1929, held in Seville. Its creator was Aníbal González. He mixed a style inspired by the Renaissance with typical elements from the city: exposed brick, ceramics and wrought iron (worked by Domingo Prida). Its floor plan is semicircular. It is dominated by 2 towers, one on each side of the enclosed area, which frame the central building where the main rooms are. Between the two towers runs a network of galleries with an arcade of semicircular arches leading to exits in different parts of the square, where a fountain stands.

The image shows my youngest son's wrist identification band from when he was born in hospital. It's been hanging around the kitchen for ** years for some reason; I've never worked out why I haven't put it away safely. His birthday was two days ago, and meant that the year he was born we both ended up coming out of hospital on Valentine's day; the best valentine's present ever...! :-)

The word sail, a monument to poetry, is the name of a steel sculpture by Heinrich Popp.
The sculpture stands on an open field northwest of Sotzweiler, the birthplace of the sculptor and today a district of the Saarland municipality of Tholey in the district of St. Wendel. On an elevation of about 338 metres above NHN, the sculpture represents a landmark visible from afar.
The word sail consists of two sail-shaped triangles, one of which stands on the top and which are twisted against each other. The two halves of the sail, made of stainless steel, are welded together at their highest point. At the same time, the empty space between the two steel plates also has a sail-like shape, depending on the point of view.
The monument, a gift from Heinrich Popp to his home community, was erected in 2005 after several years of planning and execution. The two steel plates were cast in the Dillinger Hütte and rolled to a thickness of 3 cm. The sculpture has a height of 13 meters and a total weight of approx. 30 tons.
The term word sail is also the name of a writing and poetry competition initiated by the artist at participating schools in Saarland.

El Arco de Tito situado en la Vía Sacra justo al sureste del Foro, en Roma, Italia, fue construido hacia el año 82 d.C. por el emperador romano Domiciano para conmemorar las victorias de Tito contra los judíos. El arco tiene una estructura sencilla de un único vano flanqueado por dos grandes pilares con bóveda de cañón artesanado, en el interior el valor del Arco de Tito esta puesto en su decoración escultórica, sobria en el exterior y desbordante bajo la bóveda, donde el altorrelieves de gran formato representan la entrada triunfal de Vespasiano y tito. En lo alto del intradós del Arco un relieve muestra a Tito transportado por un águila a los cielos.

The Thurisaz rune (ᚦ) represents the ability to confront obstacles, the strength to endure adversity, and the protection of mighty forces. Like the thorn it symbolizes, this rune reminds you that true strength lies not just in attack, but in defense and resilience. It suggests that you have the inner fortitude to face any challenge that stands in your way, urging you to stand firm and embrace your power.
Thurisaz is a rune of both conflict and transformation, showing that through struggle, growth is achieved. It calls on you to harness your inner strength wisely, channeling your energy to break through barriers and drive positive change. More than just a force of destruction, Thurisaz is a guardian—its presence in your path signifies that you are not alone, as unseen forces shield and guide you. Whether in battle, personal trials, or major life transitions, this rune is a reminder that your resilience is your greatest weapon, and through perseverance, victory is within reach.
"Thurisaz is the force that breaks and the strength that endures—embrace the storm, for it forges the warrior within."
El teatro romano de Mérida, en la provincia de Badajoz, es un teatro histórico levantado por la Antigua Roma en la colonia Augusta Emerita, nombre con el que se conocia a la actual Mérida.
Su creación fue promovida por el cónsul Marco Vipsanio Agripa y, según una fecha inscrita en el propio teatro, su inauguración se produjo hacia los años 16 -1 5 a. C., siendo Patrimonio de la Humanidad desde el año 1993 como parte del conjunto arqueológico de Mérida.
El teatro ha sufrido varias remodelaciones, la más importante durante el siglo I d. C., cuando se levantó el frente escénico actual, y otra en época de Constantino I, entre los años 333 y 337; aunque fue abandonado en el siglo IV d. C. tras la oficialización en el Imperio romano de la religión cristiana, que consideraba inmorales las representaciones teatrales. Demolido parcialmente y cubierto de tierra, durante siglos la única parte visible del edificio fueron las gradas superiores, bautizadas por los emeritenses como «Las Siete Sillas».
Las excavaciones arqueológicas en el teatro comenzaron en 1910 y su reconstrucción parcial en 1962; albergado desde 1933 la celebración del Festival Internacional de Teatro Clásico de Mérida.

I always thought it was ironic that the spider has this particular marking. Crosses represent both death and resurrection - in this case the prey only receives the former. I figured this was good for a combo BBBT and Arachtober. Happy Arachtobutt! She really displays the cross well here. It also really reads well in the thumbnail image.

Las Alondras y todos los representantes de su familia los alaudidos, son cada día mas escasos,
Habitantes de espacios abiertos, sufren como otras tantas especies de aves, la explotación intensiva de muchos pastizales.
Campos de cultivo de cereales de crecimiento rápido que se siegan antes de que las aves puedan haber terminado su ciclo reproductor y rociados de herbicidas y pesticidas que envenenan a sus presas, la verdad es que no lo tienen fácil para sobrevivir.
Sin embargo, bastan que en esos cultivos intensivos, se dejen pequeñas parcelas de terrenos sin sembrar, donde crezcan las mal llamadas malas hierbas y no se echen tantos pesticidas y herbicidas a los cultivos, que al final también nosotros los terminamos ingiriendo y acumulando en nuestros tejidos, para que las alondras y demás aves habitantes de estos espacios, pudiesen criar y alimentarse.
¿Estaremos dispuestos a ello?.
En algunos lugares se hace con resultados muy buenos en lo referente a los aguiluchos cenizos y pálidos,
Ojala esa sensibilidad cada vez este mas presente, pero tengo muchas dudas de ello.
En la foto una Alondra común (Alauda arvensis) .
Saludos.

* Detalle del mosaico representando La Fuente del Río, en la ciudad de Cabra de Córdoba, (La Igabrum tartesso-romana). Centro geográfico de Andalucía.
* La Fuente del Río, es el lugar donde brota el curso del Río Cabra (Afluente del Genil y subafluente del Guadalquivir)). Desde este lugar, el romano egabrense, Tribuno Militar de la VI Legión, Marco Cornelio, hizo construir un acueducto que condujo estas aguas hasta la población de Igabrum. Y así consta en la epigrafía que se puede encontrar en dicho lugar.
La Fuente del Río está declarada paraje de interés natural a nivel internacional.
* Traeremos a colación otro soneto del poeta egabrense Ángel Murillo, como ya dábamos el primero en evocaciones anteriores.
IMPRESIÓN LÍRICA DE LA FUENTE DEL RÍO
Apacible rincón donde el reposo,
la sombra y la frescura, confundidos
dan paz al corazón y a los sentidos
y el alma llenan de encendido gozo.
Refugio sosegado y deleitoso
con trinos, con susurros, con latidos,
con trémulos silencios escondidos
en pálpito que estalla tembloroso.
Del roquedal abierta en la ladera
una gruta colgada como un nido
sobre el verde y azul de la fontana.
Y el fluir de la linfa plañidera
que una alfombra de espumas ha tendido
a los pies de la Virgen Soberana. .

Barberton daisy and Gerbera jamesonii
Barberton daisy can purify air and remove formaldehyde and benzene. Barberton daisy are valued most in gardens for the striking colors of their large blooms. Often used in flower beds, cut flower gardens, and container plantings, they can make a striking addition to any kind of flower garden.
The gerbera daisy on the other hand symbolizes purity, innocence, and beauty. The most significant characteristic of this flower is its bright, radiant colors, which represent energy and rejuvenation to many. Its colors encourage youthfulness and joy that radiate into the daily lives of individuals.
La iglesia de San Manuel y San Benito, de Madrid (España), está situada en la calle de Alcalá, 83, en frente del Parque del Retiro y fue construida entre 1902 y 1910. La obra del arquitecto Fernando Arbós y Tremanti se destinó como residencia e iglesia para los Padres Agustinos. Los mecenas de esta iniciativa fueron el empresario catalán Manuel Caviggioli y su esposa Benita Maurici, que donaron el terreno para este fin y de los que la iglesia toma su advocación.
Este edificio es sin duda el mejor ejemplo de la arquitectura neobizantina madrileña, junto con el Panteón de Hombres Ilustres, que también fue realizado por el propio Arbós. La iglesia de San Manuel y San Benito tiene una planta centralizada de cruz griega, con una gran cúpula sobre pechinas donde se representan simbólicamente los cuatro evangelistas. En su interior destaca una capilla lateral “de la Epístola”, con un altar de mármol blanco en el centro y los dos sepulcros del matrimonio catalán en los lados. De su fachada, destaca la torre, erigida al modo de los campaniles italianos. La restauración en el último tercio del siglo XX, de la Iglesia de San Manuel y San Benito, corrió a cargo del arquitecto José Antonio Arenillas.

Suddenly another bird arrived and he/she fluff up the feathers to look much larger than they really are and face an attacker boldly.
Momotus aequatorialis (Andean motmot / Barranquero)
Bird in freedom. La Ceja, Colombia; Central Andes; 2.300 meters above sea level.
The Andean Motmot, as the English name implies, is the Andean representative of the "Blue-crowned Motmot" complex. For many years, all members of this group were considered to be conspecific, but this group now is reclassified as representing five different species. The Andean Motmot occurs in humid montane forests of the Andes mountains of South America, from Colombia south to Bolivia. Andean motmot is a big bird about 50 cm from beak to tail.

A small series of three photographs in which I tried, chromatically, to represent the state of mind rather than faithful realism.
With two Le Mans wins, dozens of grand prix victories, five Targa Florios, a Manufacturers’ Championship, and the build of some of the pre-war period’s most celebrated sports and luxury automobiles to its credit, it is no wonder that the Bugatti marque is regularly honored at world-class concours d’elegance and museums. The Molsheim, France-based brand is so esteemed that a commemoration of its 100th anniversary was never in doubt. So when the occasion arrived in 2009, the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance duly pronounced Bugatti’s centenary as one of the event’s guiding themes.
This opportunity was not lost on Bugatti Automobiles SaS, the modern successor to Ettore Bugatti’s original Alsatian concern. The company’s signature product, the 1,001-horsepower Veyron 16.4, had spent years in careful development by the VW Group’s specialized engineers, and was received with justifiable acclaim by journalists and enthusiasts alike upon its 2005 introduction, redefining the benchmark for the modern hypercar in the process.
The Veyron was capable of accelerating from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.46 seconds, en route to a top speed just over 408 km/h (nearly 254 mph). Built around a magnificent mid-mounted, quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W-16 engine with four valves per cylinder and a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, it astonished the world with its surefootedness even at the most extreme speeds, enabled by a full-time Haldex all-wheel-drive system. The stopping power was stunning, as the Veyron was anchored by massive carbon-ceramic disc brakes with 15.7-inch discs and eight-piston, four-pad calipers up front, while 15-inch discs with six-piston, two-pad calipers were mounted at the rear. The alloy wheels, respectively 20 and 21 inches at the front and rear, were shod with special Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 PAX run-flat tires engineered specifically for the Veyron.
Three different drive modes governed the dizzying array of technology: a Normal mode, at which the ride height was 4.9 inches; a Handling mode that deployed the rear spoiler and lowered ride height to 3.15 inches; and a special, key-activated High-Speed mode that dropped ride height to 2.56 inches in front and 2.75 at the rear, while changing the spoiler position. Even the car’s ancillary systems, including no fewer than 10 radiators, were marvels of automotive engineering conceived to perform under the most demanding circumstances.
All of this was encased within an intricately hand-crafted structure, actually shorter in overall length than a modern Porsche 911, though riding on a longer 106.7-inch wheelbase, while being noticeably lower and wider than the benchmark German sports car of the day. It was instantly and definitively recognizable as the pinnacle product that it aspired to be—the modern Bugatti, a sporting speed machine that looked and performed like absolutely nothing else on the road.
Excerpt from www.norfolkandtillsonburgnews.com/news/local-news/bia-ben...:
Eight benches in total were painted by two visual and media artists selected in a June/July contest open to Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit and Métis) or BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour).
“They look amazing,” said Slattery. “It’s really great because they pull in the BIA colours and it’s all about the theme ‘eat, shop, live, explore’ downtown.”
The themes Live, Shop, Eat and Explore were represented on four sidewalk decals with the added challenge of each decal containing just one corporate colour. The decals needed to capture the unique, retail, food, and lifestyle opportunities in the charming town of Tillsonburg. Digitally drawn doodles for each theme were arranged to surround stylized type highlighting heritage stops, shopping, and activities such as Turtlefest as well as the rural nature of the area.’
Each of the artists were able to visit Tillsonburg, explore the downtown and ‘live the life,’ said Slattery, and from there they went to work.
The benches will be located in the downtown along Broadway, or side streets like Ridout or Bridge streets, creating an ‘art path from one end of the core to the other.’
“We want to make sure people know that Downtown Tillsonburg isn’t just Broadway but also the side streets,” said Slattery. “And there’s lots of shops and patios and things to explore along the side streets too.”
General Motors products are well represented this day at Wisconsin & Southern's Horicon terminal.

Le Rouge-gorge familier (Erithacus rubecula) est une espèce de passereaux. Auparavant placé dans la famille des Turdidae, il figure actuellement, avec d'autres représentants de celle-ci (particulièrement les tariers et les traquets), dans celle des Muscicapidae. La liste de la Commission de l'Avifaune française utilise l'orthographe rougegorge.
The medieval centre of St. Albans, England, with the Clock Tower (having the cock on top) and the tower of the Cathedral (with the flag pole) in the background. The Clock Tower represents civic pride, but the spiritual and political power was firmly located in the Cathedral (until Henry VIII intervened).
